Family Pics
We got our family pictures back.
Here are some of my favorites.
Life has calmed down the past few weeks.. thank goodness. I was losing my mind... wait I didn't have much to lose.
We canned TONS of grape juice.. YUMMY! Now we need to try to ration it... that is the hard part.
Baseball season is over, kind of sad about that. Now we are going to have a neighborhood dance class. We are still in the process of convincing the husbands, but they are ALMOST there. There is a place called Center Stage that is only $90 for 10 dance classes. We are thinking of doing Salsa or Latin.. Michael is not fully convinced, but I REALLLLYYYY want to. I miss dancing SO MUCH!
I think he will do it.
Our big family news is that we got a new kitchen table and I made curtains for my kitchen windows. ORANGE and white. I LOVE IT. It is so bright in there now. So happy. The black kitchen table and the ORANGE wall were terrible. I got the table for a good deal at Ikea and it fits 10 people comfortably. We have dinner guest enough and it was HIGH time for a new one.
Michael says we have to start working on a bigger family to fill it.
I got a new calling at church.. MY DREAM CALLING. Primary Chorister! HURRAY!!! It is SO FUN!! I love it! Church went by so much faster! Now I just have to learn how to teach the children the songs for next year. I am already nervous about the program and it is a year away. YIKES!

HALLOWEEN!
Halloween was SO MUCH FUN!
We went to Juddy's school to watch the costume parade. He is so cute! He was Darth Vader and I was sewing the cape on about 30 minutes before I had to bring him the costume.
Carma ran ALL over the school and chased some princesses as she ewwwed and awwed over them. She scared this one little girl who was around 3 b/c she got so close to her face.
We went to eat a soup party at the Neighbors house and that was so much fun! YUMMY SOUP w/ bread bowls. MY FAVORITE!!! Our neighborhood is awesome!! There is always something going on.
We then went to Cynthia and Stewart's for more soup. But we were so full.. :( Michael took Juddy trick or treating.. this year the weather was amazing! I don't ever remember the weather being so warm this late... I LOVE IT!!!
I will have to fill in more later.. I have to (GET TO) go to IKEA!! HURRAY!!! I am in need of kitchen curtains!!

Catching up!
It has been a while since I posted pictures. We have been so busy. I am glad the Spook Alley is over, Michael is back from business trip and life is mostly back to "normal". Whatever that is. I always think that life will calm down but it is alway just as busy "next" week. But that is MUCH better than being bored!
Here are some of the pictures of Judson at the Spooktacular Math Night. I don't have any pictures of the Spook Alley yet. It was too dark in there for me to take any, but someone is suppose to send me some soon. Judson really enjoyed it and is pretty advanced in Math (which I am happy about since his reading isn't wonderful... I am learning (or trying/needing t0 learn) a new level of patience, humility and balance.)
Carma is SUCH a girl. We go through several outfits before she will actually let me dress her... arghhh. But when we DO find a winner she will willingly pose for the camera. When I dressed her this morning I was doing the "YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL" squeal. In which she proceeds to twirl around for me. Judson's 6 yr old friend comes over in the morning before school and Carma was twirling for him waiting for him to eww and aww. He looked at me as if to shout "Help! No WAY I am saying she looks cute!" She was so confused when he didn't compliment her and I finally had to tell her that he just can't eww and aww over her b/c he is a six year old boy who doesn't care about pretty dresses.
I wish I would have brought my camera at Grandma's house today. We have been processing grape juice and the kids LOVE to play in her yard. I really need to take pictures of all of the grapes too, it is just amazing beautiful time of year. Perfect picture time. Maybe tomorrow.

Funny Carma quotes
**This week at Church Carma made a friend with a young adult sitting next to us. TOTALLY interupting this poor girls sacrament meeting. Carma read her sleeping beauty and told her about her snacks. Then she decided to introduce her family. She excitedly said, as she patted each of us on the leg "This is my Mommy! This is my Daddy! and this is my uhh uhh Juddy Butters!" We were laughing so hard.
**Michael taught her who President Hinckly was and she was going around saying "It's pwesiden Hinkwy!"
**I tried to get her to put on a dress and thought she would put it on if I told her it was Sleeping Beauty's. NOT! She said "We need to give it back to Sleepy Beauty!" hahaha She is getting so smart.
**Grandpa had a blood clot in his lung last week (THANK HEAVENS he is alright!). We went to see him at the hospital and after we left his room I said "do you love Grandpa? and she said "with all of my heart". Is that not the cutest thing in the world? I wanted to melt. She has since then told me several times "Mommy, I love you with all of my heart." She also ALWAYS tells me how beautiful I am. It is very good for my self esteem to have her around. She comes up to me and says "Mommy, I like your eyes" or "I like you clothings" or "I like your ears" ect.
When I have a dress on she will say "OHHHHH MOMMY You are beautiful like a princess!" I can't believe how much of a girl she is. SO SUGARY SWEET!

President Hinkley "Knighting" Elder Eyring
Jamie sent this to me today and I HAD to put it on my blog b/c it is SOOOO CUTE and FUNNY!
I LOVE President Hinckley!!!!
~After President Hinckley finished with the sustaining of the officers of the church during the Saturday morning session, Elder Eyring had moved into his new seat on the stand. Unfortunately, they didn't show this on TV, but when President Hinckley turned around, he stood there for a moment looking at Elder Eyring (probably with the little twinkle in his eye), then picked up
his cane and "knighted" him on his shoulder and head. ~
I can't post the picture right now for some reason so here is the link:

Week Of Oct 1
We started October with Carving Pumpkins. I had sworn off carving pumpkins after being ward activity leader 3 years ago and carving 20 pumpkins... but I guess it wore off already. Judson did the scary pumpkin, Dad did the circle mouth pumpkin and I did the pirate pumpkin. Carma's is the cute little one.
Carma found her fairy costume in the toy box and wanted to put it on, she didn't have clothes on, so she is The Naked Fairy. Judson took those pictures of us, he is a good photographer huh!
Judson doesn't like his pictures being taken.. as you can see here. He doesn't even have to try to look cute in pictures.
Maw-maw sent Carma a dress. I wish I would have gotten in tape when she first saw it. She said "awww! BEAUTIFUL!! Like a Princess!" and then insisted on putting it on. She is SUCH a girl!!
She and her cousin, Belle, are having their pictures taken in it. I will post them both when Carma's gets hers done professionally. I can't wait to get them done. (but dread it at the same time since it isn't easy to have her cooperate for a picture).
Maw-maw wrote the most beautiful letter to Carma when she sent the dress. Thanks Maw-maw!
